    iOS Selling access to an app on the store, outside of the store itself

    I suspect I already know the answer to this question as Apple aren't going to make it easy for people to bypass their 30% revenue stream on app sales... but here goes anyway! I've developed an app for a customer and they love it (so far so good). They were originally planning to sell it on the...

    Hello. I have two accounts on my mac. Both are administrators. But for some reason, only one (the least used one) is an option for login when the mac is first started up.

    iCloud Keychain seems unsafe... is it just me??

    I've just set up iCloud keychain because I was trying to find a safe way to keep all of my passwords. However, I find it VERY unsettling that anyone who knows my iPhone passcode (or computer login for that matter) can easily see all of the stored passwords. You would think Apple would allow the...

    Password protect external HD used for Carbon Copy Cloner?

    I use Carbon Copy Cloner to back my Mac up on my external HD. But I want to protect the data, so people can't just plug the external HD in to their computer and see all my files. Would it be possible to make it, so that you have to enter a password before viewing the files on the external HD?
